[QUOTE="Blkthorne, post: 279882, member: 3112"] Really felt Farsight was getting kind of comfortable before all the mess with losing of the Williams' license, they had no one really competing with them with real tables, Zen was happy doing their original tables, or so we thought, Magic Pixel had the niche Zaccaria area covered, and VP wasn't for everyone to just leap in and start using, as people said, it was the convenience. If Chris was right, they would go in and buy the Williams' license outright and have a monopoly pretty much on the top tables in the business and bring out tables at a very leisurely pace. I even thought maybe they would think of doing a TPA 2.0 similar to Pinball FX3 and get rid of the clunky old TPA engine. Mike Lindsley did seem pretty subdued in the interview, you mentioned he was the main cheerleader for pinball in the office and you could kind of tell he wasn't exactly loving the idea of Party Zone app over Bally/Williams' tables. At least he did say they were working on some Stern tables, though you wonder what they would allow Farsight to even have?? Would Stern give them some AAA title or some slow selling one that they want to give a little attention to? I did like that you plugged Gottlieb EM's and early SS along with Stern Electronics' tables, though I don't think they are overly enthused about that prospect. [/QUOTE]
